00:00:06
foreign you're looking up and you're calling out for help from people and people are
00:00:16
walking by you know because they don't hear you I don't think people know how blessed
00:00:22
they are to be able to just hug somebody that they love or to wake up in a house with people
00:00:27
that love you I haven't had the chance to do that in 28 years I'm just gonna ask you did you kill
00:00:37
Marcus Boyd I did not kill Marcus he was like a friend of me he was one of my best friends and I I loved him in
00:00:44
1994 Marcus Boyd was shot Marcus Boyd was shot and killed ran up and shot and killed Boyd when he
00:00:53
pulled the trigger I seen The Flash I swear I could almost see like muscle and tendons because the flash was so big
00:01:01
it's like an x-ray could you see their faces could you identify these men no I couldn't
00:01:09
identify them he had an alibi I was about three miles away at a friend's house and his
00:01:19
girlfriend at the time provided that alibi I know for a fact he didn't do it he wasn't there
00:01:30
he was not involved you agreed to line up agree to a lineup I couldn't identify anybody in all of it
00:01:39
Greg viewed the lineup with Lamar Johnson in it at least three times there's no identification and that
00:01:45
should have been the end of it right there but it wasn't I felt bullied by the detective and only
00:01:53
after pressure from the detective did he all of a sudden say oh yeah yeah that guy did it it just kept having pressure
00:02:00
to go along with this he saw his friend murdered he was scared he was easily manipulated by the police and the
00:02:08
prosecutor in this case I had what I believed to be a murderer and I had an identification witness who I believed
00:02:15
was truthful and honest I presented the evidence I had and a jury convicted him a trial of heirs from start to finish
00:02:25
it was devastating since my conviction I've been petitioning every judge to give me a
00:02:33
hearing and no judge has given me a chance to be hurt problem is I don't know what else to do
00:02:40
I love so much it's just milestones everything that a little girl wishes that she could you know experience with her
00:02:51
dad [Music] our conviction Integrity unit found new evidence that will exonerate Mr Lamar
00:03:02
Johnson there's something powerful really powerful in our system of justice when the prosecutor says we're the ones
00:03:11
who made the mistake we're trying to free this man it's devastating for me that this man has spent 28 years in
00:03:25
prison for a crime he did not commit this is really kind of Lamar Johnson's last chance isn't it yes that is
00:03:34
absolutely true [Music]
